It must be noted that no amount of teaching received and knowledge gained will make one a "minister." Just as swimmers are not made in a bathtub, so are disciples/ministers not made in the classroom. Principles taught and learnt must be first internalized and then in obedience, put into practice in a context of accountability. This is the key to Discipleship, Leadership and fruitfulness in ministry, and thus the essence of this Practicum.2.Group Discussion/Interaction: All participants will be divided into groups for both in and out of class discussion of subject-matter and concepts taught in class.

All participants are to discipline themselves to an hour a day (at least) of fellowship with the Holy Spirit.(30 min. in prayer/30 min. in the Word/Meditation).Group leaders to provide accountability in this regard. Please note: It is ALL for YOUR Good.4.Evangelism: To be coordinated in conjunction with local pastor or designated leader.GRADUATION: At the end of this Leadership Training Program, graduation certificates will be awarded to all participants who successfully complete and fulfill all requirements for graduation.
